FC Barcelona-Almería: The possible lineups for matchday 18 of LaLiga EA Sports

The FC Barcelona receives this Wednesday from the 19:00 hours to the Almería in Montjuïc to play the 18ª day, the last of the 2023. The Barcelona have more urgencies that never after his last 'trip' in Valencia, that has left them to 9 points of the Girona and to 7 of the Real Madrid. Win to the almerienses is an obligation for no descolgarse even more of the fight by LaLiga.

For this fundamental duel, Xavi Hernández will not be able to have two indisputable headlines, that besides are safe of the three better footballers of the staff. Frenkie Of Jong will be drop by sanction and Pedri will not be able to play by injury, after having felt 'annoyances' serious in the training of this Tuesday. The trainer, therefore, will have to do at least two changes forced in the alignment for this crash.

Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-Almería of LaLiga

• XI of the FC Barcelona: Iñaki Crag; I Cancel, Araújo, Koundé, Balde; Oriol Romeu, Gündogan, Fermín; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Joao Félix.
• XI of the Almería: Maximiano; Édgar, Montes, Chumi, Pozo, Akieme; Lopi, Dribble; Embarba, Ramazani and Baptistao.

Iñaki Crag

The canterano is being a remarkable substitute of Ter Stegen from the injury of the German. The archer has been important in varied of the triumphs of the Barcelona picture and against the almerienses goes him to demand go back to be to good level. It is likely that do not arrive him to throw a lot, as it happened in front of Valencia, therefore when they do it will have to be 100% concentrated and prepared to answer.

I cancel-Araújo-Koundé-Balde

In the defensive line there is a big doubt that could change almost each place. Balde, that went back to the titularity in League in Mestalla, does not have ensured his continuity in the XI, although in 'FCBN' bet by his continuity after his acceptable performance in Mestalla. The another option that is in the head of the technician would be to give entrance to Christensen, thing that would displace to Koundé to the right side and to Cancel to the left, with Alejandro of acting. It would be the same disposal that used Xavi against the Athletic and the Girona, but is more defensive and taking into account the rival, that plays home and that it is necessary to win yes or yes seems more possible that repeat the saga of Valencia.

Gündogan-Oriol Romeu-Fermín

In the medullary expect two changes almost insurances by fault of the dramatic injury of last hour of Pedri and the drop by sanction of Frenkie of Jong. With Gavi also lesionado, lonly ace natural alternatives that has in the first team the trainer barcelonista are Oriol Romeu and Fermín López. The one of Ulldecona was nefasto in Champions, giving two goals, and sum already three meetings followed without playing in League, but there is not much more where choose. By his part, Fermín also is playing little, although something more than the ex of the Girona, and seems the ideal substitute of Pedri. Marc Casadó, pivote of the filial, is the third in discord, but the have not debuted in League subtracts him quite a lot of options.

Raphinha-Lewandowski-Joao Félix

The only novelty that could expect in the leading would be the entrance of Lamine Yamal by Raphinha to give him a 'touch', but is not likely. The Brazilian comes playing well, surely better so much that Lewandwoski like that Joao Félix, but is failing a lot of face to door and with controls that could mean occasions of goal. Nevertheless, Xavi is used to to be a trainer continuista in this sense and is more possible that go back to give him another opportunity for 'break' his bad series -does not mark from September- that command him to the bench.
